Good Morning Tony

(Well evening for you) reat POV with the butterfly to one side of the frame. Very good detail and colour.

The first time I saw on of these in the wild I got really excited (I was in Canada and 18) my friends (locals) thought I was mad as they were nothing unusual.

Hello Tony,
Apart from landscapes you are now showing your talents as a butterfly photographer. This has a fine composition with the lantana flowers and the Monarch is presented sharply and from a fine POV against a good contrasting OOF natural BG.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,

Excellent sharp capture of the Monarch on a beautiful Lantana. Great colours too. I like the lush background although the colours are a bit harsh. Still a very fine composition.

Hi Tony.
Simply great close-up in almost every respect (I mean some mosaic BG only). Image of butterfly is simply outstanding and fine at highest range. Flowers are reproduced perfectly too. Lights, colours, sharpness are fantastic. Composition is blameless. Bravo.

This looks more like a painting than a photograph. A beautiful Monarch atop the beautiful flowers. Colors are magnificent - so deep and rich. Excellent sharp details. As always, a wonderful composition.

This picture is so stylish with its sparkling colours, the dark background, it reminds me of the 1950's illustrations. They were "imagining" and drawing in such a way but you SEE it in nature and capture it in pictures. I love it, I cannot stop looking at this picture, with the beautiful butterfly on such colourful flowers. You've got style Tony, and this fantastic background is a real creation! Thank you,

Hi Tony!

I never know if I should say hi Tony or hi Ho...
Sorry, if I'm wrong!

Your picture looks more like a delicate painting: the colors are superb and the composition with the flowers is graceful (or gracious?). First when one looks at the richness of the details he realizes that it is a photography. A great piece of art!

Kind regards

This is a lovely colour match between flower and insect!
Effective point of view and a fine dynamic composition, where the subject is well isolated from the back...
Impressive details in the butterfly, excellent sharpness!
